ORTOFON OMB 10 OMB10 CARTRIDGE
- New old stock in plastic case and LP Tunes packaging. Screws, nuts, and stylus guard included.

The Ortofon OMB 10 OMB-10 phono cartridge is the version of the OM 10 cartridge offered to turntable manufacturers for their use as original equipment with their turntables. Their popularity stems from three compelling reasons: (1) it plays music with authenticity, refinement, and artful competence that makes it endearing; (2) it is sensibly priced; and (3) it offers an upgrade path to highest fidelity. By simply replacing the stylus, an Ortofon OMB 10 owner can upgrade its performance to the highly rated Ortofon OM20, OM30 or OM40 cartridge.

There is a discontinued Super OM cartridge version. The current 2M is a further extension of it. Both illuminate the high frequencies to make it sound livelier — hotter. We prefer the original OM as it delivers an organic, natural, faithful, and honest sound of the recorded material.

Super Upgradeable
All OM models have the same body, construction, and magnetic circuitry. The only difference is the interchangeable stylus unit. Thus, when your level of musical sophistication improves, you can simply switch the existing stylus to the Ortofon Stylus 20, 30 or for pinnacle performance the Ortofon Stylus 40. The Ortofon Stylus 40 offers pinnacle performance for the most demanding listener.
